3 Series E36 M3 (S50) COUPE
Turn splined hubs on intake and exhaust camshafts to right limit
position.
Note:
On right detent of tooth hub, screws on VANOS- gear must be
at least half and no more than three quarters below vanes on
impeller.
Left side of screw head can be seen.
If this position is not reached, the screw heads are no longer
accessible after installation of the VANOS adjustment unit; if
necessary, remove and reposition chain wheel. This task is
described in the work step dealing with replacing camshafts,
refer to 11 31 019 (S50 B32)
Caution!
Ensure that both VANOS splined shafts remain in initial
position during assembly procedure.
Insert VANOS adjustment unit with splined shaft on exhaust end
into VANOS gear until helical gear (1) almost locates in splined
hub (2).
Note:
Spur gear on splined shaft is already in mesh with the exhaust
camshaft.
Check whether bevel splines of splined shaft (1) are precisely
aligned "tooth to tooth gap" with splined hub (2).
If it proves impossible to insert the physical gear in the splined
hub, retract VANOS adjustment unit with splined shaft until spline
can rotate freely.
